Two-time NCAA distance champion Ky Robinson was named Men's Outdoor Track Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
It is the latest award earned by Robinson after winning the 5,000 meters and 10,000 at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Austin, Texas, in June to close out his junior collegiate season.
Robinson was named USTFCCCA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year after scoring 20 of Stanford's 44 points on the way to placing third as a team.
Robinson earned five All-America honors – one in cross country and two each in indoor and outdoor track – and has nine altogether. Robinson was the West Region Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year. He broke school records indoors in the 3,000 and 5,000. The latter time of 13:11.53 is the fourth-fastest in collegiate indoor history and is a Stanford absolute record (including indoors and outdoors).
The Brisbane, Australia, native was 23rd at the World Cross Country Championships in February while competing for his home country on home soil. A management science and engineering major, Robinson carries a 3.58 cumulative grade-point average and earned first-team Academic All-America honors.
Previous Stanford winners were Grant Fisher in 2017 and Amaechi Morton in 2011 and 2012.
Both of Stanford's teams were among those earning All-Academic Team honors. The Cardinal women had a combined GPA of 3.70 and the men were at 3.52.
In addition, 18 men and 16 women were named All-Academic Athletes by the USTFCCCA for their performances in indoor or outdoor track and field combined with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25.
